Two horizontally long, weathered palm leaf strips feature dense columns of black Indic script. On the upper strip's right, a red-bordered panel depicts a light-skinned figure seated cross-legged on a throne. Each strip contains a circular binding hole near the center, encircled by red pigment. The yellowed, frayed material shows fine striations, while solid red vertical bands partition the text blocks from the illustration and central holes.
